Really odd they make a point of him only coincidentally being there when Trump already pardoned everyone for their patriotism.

Maybe they don’t want to immediately put him under suspicion of also having child porn.

Good point. If he was there, the odds have been proven time and time again that we should def be checking his computer. Maybe he has a laptop!!!!!

While the information flows like a river about #blueanon senior leadership being treasonous/seditious assholes.

#blueanon rages on about bystanders.

Cringe AF - But also onbrand AF

For being anti communism/socialism, they sure don't act like it.

That number is correct, I think SDs tweet is the expected inflation long term given tariffs, not today's inflation.

[wetwillie]

2.7 is still shitty tbh, Jerome wants a flat 2.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I don't think 2.7 is bad at all. I'm expecting much worse than that by this fall.

Yeah, how I feel

And the slight positive in spending that just happened was a “buy before the tariff” irregular event.
